One Robinson, a. tuated by an alleged failure on the part ol i.be .1 .aungomsnt to pay his salary, walked out in front of the audience and shouted: THE TOMS RIVER MURDER TRIAL CLOSED AT LAST. Bath, Me., Feb. 27.—Mary A. Lincoln, of Ago warn, Mass., thinks she has a claim against tho city of Batii similar to that ou which Myro Clark Gaines recovered so much money from New Orleans.

Washington, Feb. 87.—The fight over the (Over coinage question in the house was sharp, ■hart, and decisive, and resulted In an easy victory for the silver men. Mr. Bland and his followers have been prepared for an attack all the session. They number very nearly of the house, and at all times have been able to muster at least 125 votes, enough to bar the passage of any bill. They have suspected ever since the election that Mr. Cleveland held views in common with eastern Democrats in favor of restricting coinage, and their suspicions were confirmed by their talks with the Presidentelect in New York recently. Representative Warner, of Ohio, visited Mr. Cleveland in that city to make known the views of the silver men, and his report to the latter upon his return alarmed them. A council of war was held,1 which was attended by Messrs. Bland, Reagan, Blount, Warner, Mills and other*. A letter signed by these men, among others, was addressed to Mr. Cleveland. The president-elect was asked to say nothing about the silver question in his inaugural address. Mr. Cleveland's answer was received In a letter sent to Gen. Warner, but addressed to all the silver men. Toms River, N. J., Feb. 27.—The attorney general resumed his speech and reviewed the testimony of the witnesses for the defense sworn to prove the alibi, and demonstrated iiow easily it was for them to bo mistaken as to time and place without any dishonest motive*. In closing he said: "I feel it is my duty to ask you to find that Rockwell is the murderer of Wainwright. I have not paid any attention to the case against the Wainwrights, I leave their cases to you under the ehrrge of the court. I am pfotty sure they know something about the murder, but tlie ovidonce fails to prove their participation." When Mr. Lindabury had finished, Judge Pan Sickel, who had sent out for lunch, occupied five minutes eating it, and then commenced his charge by stating the law concerning murder injthis state, and what accessories before and after the fact were. He then went into an elaborate review of the circumstances attending the niurdor and the finding of the body, and dwelt at length on bbH force of circumstantial evidence. "In order to relieve some iiernlaxities which have arisen," he said, "I will state to you now that the court deems it to Is its duty to advise you to acq lit Julia, Jane, Mary, Brnma and Charles Wainwright. A» to their innocence you cannot hesitate, as there is a lack at evidence against them." New Yotik, Feb. 27.—An Albany special to The Times says: The cabinet manufacturers cantiuuo to lab-jl their products "news," aud spieal them broadcast, though they are a rehash of what has been printed for days past. Under the garb of exclusive information great efforts have been made to bolster up the statement that Wpi;r.-'i O Whitney would recoive a portfolio. -.-Mi. Whitney's chief advocate has been Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, of New York city. Several stacks of letters in the hands of Mr. Manning and of the president-elect attest the zeal with which he has pressed the claims of his client. The-treasury ofBten is what the importunate letter writer wanted Mr. Whitney to have, because of the opportunities which would thus be afforded of finding fat places in the New York custom house for his friends. It was accepted as an established fact a week ago that the state department would be given to Mr. Bayard, the attorney generalship to Mr. Garland, the postmaster generalship to Mr. Vilas, the interior department to Mr. Lamar, and the treasury department to Mr. Manning. Now comes the distressing report that Mr. Manning 19 hesitating about the treasury portfolio, and that, he will accept the secretaryship pf the navy if be takes anything, i'hts statement is attributed to a talkative son of Mr. Manning. The cook and bottle washer remain to be heard from. "This thing is a fraud, and I can prove it. I've been a subject here and can stand any kind of a test." A large number of representatives of largf lactory inter? ts wero present. Mr. McArthur, of the GrosvSniordale company, employing 1,S00 hind«, said the ten-hour law had worked bu lly in Massachusetts. Many of the hand' had left the state and gont whore they coiill get lender hours and more nay. He was opposed to tho bill, and believed his employes would bo unless they receiver the same pay for 10 hours that they now did for 11 hours, Tho bill would affect about tD per cent, of his omployes. If passed then would probablybe a substitution of men foi women in Connecticut as there had been in Massachusetts. Other representatives of factories opposed the bill. A CARD.

Who duplicated all the tests? He was prodded with needles and burned with lighted cigars, 'and bad cayenne pepper thrown in his eyes, lie swallowed the bitterest drugs and submitted to all sorts of torture without the "lightest perceptible tremor. Robinson explained that the ability to endure pain was a simple matter of cultivation, and that there wore a good many men who made it a businois and who were known among professionals as "horses." They continued thoir ill vest gations and sucoeeded in getting hold of five Dr »bc "horses," who said they were performin ; with Dr. Townsend. Some of their fe*.t were almost incredible. For instance, they allowed needles to be inserted under the fingei itiiLs or through the tongue without wipeiug. Ail of these men with whom tho dooton. allied said they were in the employ of Dr. Townsend, receiving so much per night for their services. lRptt i|* ATTACKED BY AN EAGLE. Senator Pcmber, of Vernon, spoke in favor of the bill. He believed better work could be done under a 10-liour Bystem than under one of J1 hours. Joseph Dawson, ex-United States deputy collector, Alonzo McManus. repref enting the Judd & North company, and Representative Comstock also spoke in favor of the 10-hour system. A Man Comes Off Second Best in an En- counter With One. The reply was not expected to be favorable to the silver view of the question, but it was far more explicit than the petitioners had anticipated. The house had a long night session, lasting till midnight, and the proceedings were held under a call of the house, so that Gen. Warner had no opportunity to show the letter to his financial friends. When the silverites got together to read Mr. Cleveland's reply, they were a very mad lot of men. They talked right out in meeting about the president-elect, and charged that he had been captured by the gold bugs of Wall street. Mr. Reagan said that Cleveland was preparing to defeat himself before Ills inauguration, and that there was no doubt t he cabinet would be made up of men holding opinions like his own. The selection of Bayard and Lamar for the cabinet was commented upon unfavorably. Both of those senators, it was said, were chosen because they were strong an ti-silver men, and Mr. Manning for a like reason. Mr. Garland, too, was reported to have got so far around toward Mr. Cleveland's side of the question as to favor suspension of coinage for the present. Hkookltk, Feb. 37.—Israel Tlatt and Henry Conklin, of Babylon, L. I , while in th; wcods near that village saw a largo eagle in a high fores, Conklin discharged the concepts o£ lioth barrels of his pun at it. The ea.;!o with a scream swooped down upon him. Ct-fiMin started to run, but his foot taught in. The judge then said that tie case against GiCDrg® rested upon the tesl imouy of himself, unless the testiuieny of Caroline Wiltiif was believed. She claimed to have heard a voice between the gun-shots, which .she recognized as the voice of the murdered man, which s',;d: "Oh, George, ilon't." He then recured to George's conduct to his father. "If yen acquit George the is stripped of e!l its cas? except as to lllson JC. Rockwell. Upon your judgment as to the credibility if the state's witnesses depends tl:e guilt or innocence of this defendant." i'ho charge first touched upon the question of R kwell's motive for I ho crime, then on the trail across the Lukdr field and down in the marsh in the Wain wright woods, showing tin strength of the testimony that there was but one track there when the trail was fust discovered. The court then charged the jury with reference to Rockwell's admitted early Wednesday morning drive to Bomber, and the testimony of the searchers who tracked the wagon tracks there. Rockwdl's admitted failure to accomplish the object of his visit, and his return on Wedno3day, when he told Zeb. Britton that he had been up all night and had been working. As a result of the investigations of the medical men a novel seance was held at 11t' house of a prominent physician, in which tho performers were half a dozen professional subjects who had traine 1 themselves to the business. They stood without moving a muscle while the needles were thrust through their ears and arms and under tlunails of the fingers. Cayenne popper was swallowed by the spoonful without a wink. All the "horses" said they had been employed ns subjects by professional mesmerists, and declared the ability to endure pain is a simplt matter of pluck and training and that a!: public exhibitions of so-called mesmerists were conducted by the aid of hired subjects. A gentleman who is on terms of intimacy with the occupant of the Towner mansion and his immediate friends says that they are all chagrined at the discovery that some of their confidential talks have been repeated to outsidars. From all the information that has drifted to them sinco Senator Lamar's departure, the disagreoable belief is forced upon them that the senator is as leaky as a tub that has been standing bottom up in the hot sun for weeks. Inquiries have been addressed to theiu by several Democrats asking if this thing and that which they have indirectly learned from the distinguished senator is time. The talks between Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Manning and the senator were regarded as strictly confidential, and it can be imagined what the feelings of the Albany gentlemen were on being confronted with the indications of the senator's leakiness. RESTORING THE FLAG, a twi™ il he was thrown to tho sroutil. At he foil thu lauded on him and plan too its talons iu his leg. • It then began an attack upon Ms body with its bill.

Connecticut lDay at the New Orleans Ex- position Fittingly Observed. New Orleans, Feb. 37.—The event of the day at the exposition was the celebration of Connecticut day and the formal restoration to the original owners pf the tattered battle flaf captured by the Ninth Connecticut regiment from the Third Mississippi at Pass Christian, Miss., in 1863. The colors up to tho present time have been at the capital at Hartford, Ct., but both branches of the legislature of that state sanctioned their return to the ex confederates, and yesterday was chosen a the most fitting one on which to make thC transfer. The ceremonies were held ir Music Hall, which was elaborately decorated for the occasion. On the platform were al. the United States and states commissioners, the lady commissioners, a number of representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic, tho Army of Northern Virginia, and thi Army of Tennessee, tho Ninth Connecticut veterans and a host of Federals and ex-Confederates of prominence.

The bird taught desperately for several m'nutcs, and Couklin was getting exhausted, when p;«tt came to his aid. He used his gun up Da the eagle, but at first without any apparent cllect. Finally several hard blew? landed the crcaturo senseless, after vrhich it was safely secured with ropes and taken to Conklin's home, There it was caged in a coop. It is one of the largest eagle3 ever taken alive on Long- Island, and measures seven feet six inches from tip to tip. Conklin was severely injured.

Henry Jackson Moore, a bachelor living on a form in Washington county, married a widow .mined Mrs. Wallace, and took to live with hem her 18-year-old daughter. In 187S Mrs. Wallace died and shortly after the st?p-laughter married a worthless fellow named Slavin. After bullying and ill-treating Moore 'or some time the two finally persuaded h'm vo make a will in their favor.

Judge Endicott, of Massachusetts, Is being seriously considered by the president-elect. Thus the talk ran in the silver circle. A plan of action was agreed upon. Thev would fight the sundry civil appropriation bill, which contained the coinage suspension clause, at every step, even at the risk of bringing on an extra session by defeating It. Are Infernal Machine* Being; Made In St. Manning's Declination Confirmed. ' Imm St. Loots, Feb. !£7.—Mr. O'Neil Ryan, oi this city, and vice-president of the American National league, when asked hfi opinion of the story that infernal machines were to bo manufactured in this city replied: "It's my opi'uon that these things are gotten up by some people who have an object in exciting in the minds of Americans distrust of everything Irish. Certainly we hold ourselves aloof from such things, at least. While it is possible for a .dynamite factory to exist ai Crystal City without the knowledge of any ono except those connected with it, yot I don't believe it,"' However, rumors have been currant in Oarondolet tor a week past that arrangements were beiag perfected for the manufacture of dynamite .and machines In the southern part of the city, but all attempts to ferret out the matter proved unavailing Those who would naturally be posted on such matters deny all knowledge of it and declare that there is not the faintest shadow of truth in the charge. Howwer, this denial is but whatjoiight bo expected, whether there is or is Hot such an institution in existence here. I.ouls? Philadelphia, Feb. 27. — The Evening News prints the following New York special: An Albany dispatch says that Mr. Daniel Manning has positively declined to accept the secretaryship of the treasury. The ceremonies were opened by Acting Commissioner of Connecticut S. R. Pickering, who introduced John G. Healey, of the Ninth regiment Col. Healey, in an eloquent address, transferred the flag to Capt. B. Cuiran, of the Third Mississippi The chaplain of the latter regiment th8 -Rev. Thomas R. Markham, de livered an address of acceptance. The Hon. J. R. G. Pitkin, of Louisiana, and the Hon P. C. Lounsbury, of Connecticut) also madi addresses, and Mr. Harry P. Earle, of New Haven, played several airs on the greal organ. Music was also furnished by the Mexican band. "It is for you," he said to the jury, "to determine what kept bim up all night and-busy all the morning, and if you reject tho testimony of the searchers at Bomber you must find something in it to justify you in doing so. I also call your attention to the fact that the shoes of Rockwell's horse and his wagon tire fitted tbe 'racks to the lower bog at Bamber. Aft dighing all this testimony, if you are convinced that Rockwell did not carry tbe body away from the iieul, then you must acquit him of all participation in this crimo, hut if you are led to believe he did carry the body away then you are to consider as to whether he committed the murder.Mr. Randall was determined both to get a direct expression from the house on the silver question and to save his appropriation bill. Ho succeeded in both. A 2 o'clock Mr. Randall oifered a resolution providing that the rules be so suspended as to discharge the committee of the whole from the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill, and that three hours be allowed for delate on the silver clause and one hour on the New Orleans exposition clattso, to be equally divided pro and con, and that it be subject to amendment to strike out the two clauses only. Mr. Bland demanded a second to the motion, which was ordered—105 to 89. The silver men were sure of their strength and were ready to vote without debate. They knew that the twothirds vote for the resolution could not be obtained, and awaited the result of the roll call complacently. When the announcement was made—yeas, 118; nays, 149—the silverites broke out into loud clapping. Chicago, Feb. 27.—Jack Burke publishes n challenge to Faddy Ryan to fight him four or five rounds, two weeks from next Monday. He says he came here for the purpose of meeting Ryan and will not fight Ryan's tinknown unless Paddy accepts this challenge. He w ill then, one week later, meet the unknown, and wager (500 that he will best or stop him, the gate receipts to be given to the poor of the city. finrke .Wants to Meet Kyan, :cals being conveyed to him through a small /Icket in the door.

Moore cams •o Pittsburg, and having established* bis idon•it/, is engaged in seeking logal redress ir Crrter to recover the property now in the r.'ids of his stepson. Touching on the question of the alibi, he told the jury to carefully consider the possible errors as to date and time of the witnesses who claim to have seen Rockwell In tho village on the morning of the murder. Ho pictured how natural it was for a man who could plan such a crime to hasten from tho scene of the murder to the village, and there go from place to place so as t? be seen, as proof of an alibi. New 27.—John Hastings, r. nephew, of Hugh Hastings of The Commercial Advertiser, was a witness in the surrogate's court in the contest of his uncle's will. Hugh Hasting*' Missing Letter.

He said he regarded the vote just taken as a decisive expression of the views of the house, and he would make no further effort to retain the silver clause in the bill. Ho then asked the house to consider the bill with the silver question omitted, and this was granted. "Yes, distinctly. He got up from his'desk, and came around to me with it. It wk brought from his place at Monmouth Beach to be copied. Til take that back to the country for safe keeping,' Uncle Hugh said. 'It will make interesting reading some day."' "Have you ever seen the paper since?" Rockwell seemed to wince under this portion of the charge, which was strongly against tho alibi. At the conclusion of the charge Ju lga Hoffman in a low tone entered his exceptions. Judge Van Sickel then told the jury that tliO questions which he had hypothoticolly submitted to them were not to be taken as his opinions but merely as an aid to them in considering how tha facts might apply to the ovidence. The jury then retired. Reading, Pa., Feb. 27.—Some time ago a pair of infant's shoes were purchased for a child of Charles Miller, residing at Buck, Chester county, and were left at the store to be called for. By some mistake they were handed to Mrs. Clara Miller, who resides in that vicinity and who has no children. She became indignant and threw the shoes into tlja street. The owner soon made his appearance and asked for the shoes, but was informed of what had taken place. He demanded that Mrs. Miller pay for the shoes, which she refused. Miller then brought suit in Justice Grillicli's court, Pottsville.'for the recovery of the amount, and judgment was gi ven against Mrs. Millen. She Kegarded It as an Insnlt. The Celebrated McGarraban Claim Again. Washington, Feb. 27.—Secretary Teller refused to grant an application of William McGarraban for an order suspending proceedings in the matter of the mining entries of the New Idria Mining company upon certain tracts of the Son Carlos, on the ground that McGarrahan was not entitled to an appeal, he not having made the application within the required '—me. "Something has been said, on the other side, that there was some expectation of finding the paper at The Commercial Advertiser office.", "It couldn't be found there, for it was in the country." "No, sir I do not know where it is." During the afternoon the police were compiled several times to drive tho crowds away, mt they again congregated in the vicinity. i.'lie strikers entertain a" bad feeling toward ;ho officers on duty, and claim that had they lot interfered Wednesday night the trouble Dxuld have been quelled sooner than it was. ino hundred policemen have boon detailed «• duty in Kensington, although no further routiio is anticipated.

Springfield, Hi., Feb. 27.—Representa- Representative Robert Logan (Rep.), of Whitesidos, who dropped dead at the head of the house stairs, as ho was on his way to the chamber, was subject to heart disease, and was undoubtedly lulled by the excitement of the senatorial contest. His death was not unexpected. It will be necessary for the Republicans in the legislature to refrain from voting for senator if they wish to prevent tfie election of a Democrat. The Hell Telephone la Canada. Toronto, Feb. 27.—A writ of certiorari was applied for yesterday to bring up all proceedings token before the minister of agriculture in the Bell Telephone company's patent case, with the object of moving here to review, the minister's decision.

Chicago, Feb. 87.—When it was found that Jim Dalton, the Blugger who was injured in the accident on the Illinois Central railroad, had passed himself off as Alderman Gaynor, of this - city, the railroad officers began to investigate the case, and discovered that the obliging alderman had loaned the prize fighter his own pass, which rendered it necessary for Dalton to assume Gaynor's name. It is al legoJ that many of the aldermen have baen using their positions to secure free railroad transportation for their friends, and the railroad companies dare make no complaint. Deadly Natural Gas. Welt-seury, W.

The Lowell Carpet Strike Ended. Cleveland's Silver Polity, Washington, Feb. 27.—Judgo Poland, of Vermont, who was a member of the senate judiciary committee and assiste4 Lyjnan Trumbull in drafting the law under which tho senators are elected in thj several states, is quite decided in the opinion that tho doath of Representative Logan, of the Illinois legislature, leaves the joint convention with aL actual membership of 1208, and that consequently the 103 Democratic members of the two IioilsVs will constitute a quorum for the election of a United States senator. Lowell, Mass., Feb. 27.—The Brussels and Wilton carpet weavers voted 61 to 49 to conttnue their strike.

An Alleged English Joke. London, Fob. 27.—Sir Thomas Bateson, the erratic Orangeman who sits for Devizes in the house of commons, has distinguished himself by another joke. With the aid of some other Tory wag3, whose names have not been learned, ho sent a gallon of whisky to Sir Stafford Northcote, the Tory leader of the house, "with a view of putting more spirit in him." As Sir Stafford's recent utterances on the Egyptian question have been uncommonly weak it is argued that the whisky must have been bad. The Tallapoosa Nearly Repaired.

Bath, Me., Feb. 27.—Mary A. Lincoln, of Ago warn, Mass., thinks she has a claim against tho city of Batii similar to that ou which Myro Clark Gaines recovered so much money from New Orleans.

Washington, Feb. 87.—The fight over the (Over coinage question in the house was sharp, ■hart, and decisive, and resulted In an easy victory for the silver men. Mr. Bland and his followers have been prepared for an attack all the session. They number very nearly of the house, and at all times have been able to muster at least 125 votes, enough to bar the passage of any bill. They have suspected ever since the election that Mr. Cleveland held views in common with eastern Democrats in favor of restricting coinage, and their suspicions were confirmed by their talks with the Presidentelect in New York recently. Representative Warner, of Ohio, visited Mr. Cleveland in that city to make known the views of the silver men, and his report to the latter upon his return alarmed them. A council of war was held,1 which was attended by Messrs. Bland, Reagan, Blount, Warner, Mills and other*. A letter signed by these men, among others, was addressed to Mr. Cleveland. The president-elect was asked to say nothing about the silver question in his inaugural address. Mr. Cleveland's answer was received In a letter sent to Gen. Warner, but addressed to all the silver men. Toms River, N. J., Feb. 27.—The attorney general resumed his speech and reviewed the testimony of the witnesses for the defense sworn to prove the alibi, and demonstrated iiow easily it was for them to bo mistaken as to time and place without any dishonest motive*. In closing he said: "I feel it is my duty to ask you to find that Rockwell is the murderer of Wainwright. I have not paid any attention to the case against the Wainwrights, I leave their cases to you under the ehrrge of the court. I am pfotty sure they know something about the murder, but tlie ovidonce fails to prove their participation." When Mr. Lindabury had finished, Judge Pan Sickel, who had sent out for lunch, occupied five minutes eating it, and then commenced his charge by stating the law concerning murder injthis state, and what accessories before and after the fact were. He then went into an elaborate review of the circumstances attending the niurdor and the finding of the body, and dwelt at length on bbH force of circumstantial evidence. "In order to relieve some iiernlaxities which have arisen," he said, "I will state to you now that the court deems it to Is its duty to advise you to acq lit Julia, Jane, Mary, Brnma and Charles Wainwright. A» to their innocence you cannot hesitate, as there is a lack at evidence against them." New Yotik, Feb. 27.—An Albany special to The Times says: The cabinet manufacturers cantiuuo to lab-jl their products "news," aud spieal them broadcast, though they are a rehash of what has been printed for days past. Under the garb of exclusive information great efforts have been made to bolster up the statement that Wpi;r.-'i O Whitney would recoive a portfolio. -.-Mi. Whitney's chief advocate has been Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, of New York city. Several stacks of letters in the hands of Mr. Manning and of the president-elect attest the zeal with which he has pressed the claims of his client. The-treasury ofBten is what the importunate letter writer wanted Mr. Whitney to have, because of the opportunities which would thus be afforded of finding fat places in the New York custom house for his friends. It was accepted as an established fact a week ago that the state department would be given to Mr. Bayard, the attorney generalship to Mr. Garland, the postmaster generalship to Mr. Vilas, the interior department to Mr. Lamar, and the treasury department to Mr. Manning. Now comes the distressing report that Mr. Manning 19 hesitating about the treasury portfolio, and that, he will accept the secretaryship pf the navy if be takes anything, i'hts statement is attributed to a talkative son of Mr. Manning. The cook and bottle washer remain to be heard from. "This thing is a fraud, and I can prove it. I've been a subject here and can stand any kind of a test." A large number of representatives of largf lactory inter? ts wero present. Mr. McArthur, of the GrosvSniordale company, employing 1,S00 hind«, said the ten-hour law had worked bu lly in Massachusetts. Many of the hand' had left the state and gont whore they coiill get lender hours and more nay. He was opposed to tho bill, and believed his employes would bo unless they receiver the same pay for 10 hours that they now did for 11 hours, Tho bill would affect about tD per cent, of his omployes. If passed then would probablybe a substitution of men foi women in Connecticut as there had been in Massachusetts. Other representatives of factories opposed the bill. A CARD.

This great remedy was discovered by a missionary la South America. Bend self-addressed envelope to Rev. JoReph T. Tnman. Ftatlon D, Veif York. 'llio exhibitions were given by Robinson. Who duplicated all the tests? He was prodded with needles and burned with lighted cigars, 'and bad cayenne pepper thrown in his eyes, lie swallowed the bitterest drugs and submitted to all sorts of torture without the "lightest perceptible tremor. Robinson explained that the ability to endure pain was a simple matter of cultivation, and that there wore a good many men who made it a businois and who were known among professionals as "horses." They continued thoir ill vest gations and sucoeeded in getting hold of five Dr »bc "horses," who said they were performin ; with Dr. Townsend. Some of their fe*.t were almost incredible. For instance, they allowed needles to be inserted under the fingei itiiLs or through the tongue without wipeiug. Ail of these men with whom tho dooton. allied said they were in the employ of Dr. Townsend, receiving so much per night for their services. lRptt i|* ATTACKED BY AN EAGLE. Senator Pcmber, of Vernon, spoke in favor of the bill. He believed better work could be done under a 10-liour Bystem than under one of J1 hours. Joseph Dawson, ex-United States deputy collector, Alonzo McManus. repref enting the Judd & North company, and Representative Comstock also spoke in favor of the 10-hour system. A Man Comes Off Second Best in an En- counter With One. The reply was not expected to be favorable to the silver view of the question, but it was far more explicit than the petitioners had anticipated. The house had a long night session, lasting till midnight, and the proceedings were held under a call of the house, so that Gen. Warner had no opportunity to show the letter to his financial friends. When the silverites got together to read Mr. Cleveland's reply, they were a very mad lot of men. They talked right out in meeting about the president-elect, and charged that he had been captured by the gold bugs of Wall street. Mr. Reagan said that Cleveland was preparing to defeat himself before Ills inauguration, and that there was no doubt t he cabinet would be made up of men holding opinions like his own. The selection of Bayard and Lamar for the cabinet was commented upon unfavorably. Both of those senators, it was said, were chosen because they were strong an ti-silver men, and Mr. Manning for a like reason. Mr. Garland, too, was reported to have got so far around toward Mr. Cleveland's side of the question as to favor suspension of coinage for the present. Hkookltk, Feb. 37.—Israel Tlatt and Henry Conklin, of Babylon, L. I , while in th; wcods near that village saw a largo eagle in a high fores, Conklin discharged the concepts o£ lioth barrels of his pun at it. The ea.;!o with a scream swooped down upon him. Ct-fiMin started to run, but his foot taught in. The judge then said that tie case against GiCDrg® rested upon the tesl imouy of himself, unless the testiuieny of Caroline Wiltiif was believed. She claimed to have heard a voice between the gun-shots, which .she recognized as the voice of the murdered man, which s',;d: "Oh, George, ilon't." He then recured to George's conduct to his father. "If yen acquit George the is stripped of e!l its cas? except as to lllson JC. Rockwell. Upon your judgment as to the credibility if the state's witnesses depends tl:e guilt or innocence of this defendant." i'ho charge first touched upon the question of R kwell's motive for I ho crime, then on the trail across the Lukdr field and down in the marsh in the Wain wright woods, showing tin strength of the testimony that there was but one track there when the trail was fust discovered. The court then charged the jury with reference to Rockwell's admitted early Wednesday morning drive to Bomber, and the testimony of the searchers who tracked the wagon tracks there. Rockwdl's admitted failure to accomplish the object of his visit, and his return on Wedno3day, when he told Zeb. Britton that he had been up all night and had been working. As a result of the investigations of the medical men a novel seance was held at 11t' house of a prominent physician, in which tho performers were half a dozen professional subjects who had traine 1 themselves to the business. They stood without moving a muscle while the needles were thrust through their ears and arms and under tlunails of the fingers. Cayenne popper was swallowed by the spoonful without a wink. All the "horses" said they had been employed ns subjects by professional mesmerists, and declared the ability to endure pain is a simplt matter of pluck and training and that a!: public exhibitions of so-called mesmerists were conducted by the aid of hired subjects. A gentleman who is on terms of intimacy with the occupant of the Towner mansion and his immediate friends says that they are all chagrined at the discovery that some of their confidential talks have been repeated to outsidars. From all the information that has drifted to them sinco Senator Lamar's departure, the disagreoable belief is forced upon them that the senator is as leaky as a tub that has been standing bottom up in the hot sun for weeks. Inquiries have been addressed to theiu by several Democrats asking if this thing and that which they have indirectly learned from the distinguished senator is time. The talks between Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Manning and the senator were regarded as strictly confidential, and it can be imagined what the feelings of the Albany gentlemen were on being confronted with the indications of the senator's leakiness. RESTORING THE FLAG, a twi™ il he was thrown to tho sroutil. At he foil thu lauded on him and plan too its talons iu his leg. • It then began an attack upon Ms body with its bill. Conklin tried to Cj;c; upon his feet, but at. every nttoicpt was kn'ookod down by tbs wounded bird. It almost stunned hiia with a Wow on tao back oi the herd « ilh its beak. Connecticut lDay at the New Orleans Ex- position Fittingly Observed. New Orleans, Feb. 37.—The event of the day at the exposition was the celebration of Connecticut day and the formal restoration to the original owners pf the tattered battle flaf captured by the Ninth Connecticut regiment from the Third Mississippi at Pass Christian, Miss., in 1863. The colors up to tho present time have been at the capital at Hartford, Ct., but both branches of the legislature of that state sanctioned their return to the ex confederates, and yesterday was chosen a the most fitting one on which to make thC transfer. The ceremonies were held ir Music Hall, which was elaborately decorated for the occasion. On the platform were al. the United States and states commissioners, the lady commissioners, a number of representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic, tho Army of Northern Virginia, and thi Army of Tennessee, tho Ninth Connecticut veterans and a host of Federals and ex-Confederates of prominence.

The bird taught desperately for several m'nutcs, and Couklin was getting exhausted, when p;«tt came to his aid. He used his gun up Da the eagle, but at first without any apparent cllect. Finally several hard blew? landed the crcaturo senseless, after vrhich it was safely secured with ropes and taken to Conklin's home, There it was caged in a coop. It is one of the largest eagle3 ever taken alive on Long- Island, and measures seven feet six inches from tip to tip. Conklin was severely injured.

Henry Jackson Moore, a bachelor living on a form in Washington county, married a widow .mined Mrs. Wallace, and took to live with hem her 18-year-old daughter. In 187S Mrs. Wallace died and shortly after the st?p-laughter married a worthless fellow named Slavin.

Certainly we hold ourselves aloof from such things, at least. While it is possible for a .dynamite factory to exist ai Crystal City without the knowledge of any ono except those connected with it, yot I don't believe it,"' However, rumors have been currant in Oarondolet tor a week past that arrangements were beiag perfected for the manufacture of dynamite .and machines In the southern part of the city, but all attempts to ferret out the matter proved unavailing Those who would naturally be posted on such matters deny all knowledge of it and declare that there is not the faintest shadow of truth in the charge. Howwer, this denial is but whatjoiight bo expected, whether there is or is Hot such an institution in existence here. I.ouls?

"It is for you," he said to the jury, "to determine what kept bim up all night and-busy all the morning, and if you reject tho testimony of the searchers at Bomber you must find something in it to justify you in doing so. I also call your attention to the fact that the shoes of Rockwell's horse and his wagon tire fitted tbe 'racks to the lower bog at Bamber. Aft dighing all this testimony, if you are convinced that Rockwell did not carry tbe body away from the iieul, then you must acquit him of all participation in this crimo, hut if you are led to believe he did carry the body away then you are to consider as to whether he committed the murder.Mr. Randall was determined both to get a direct expression from the house on the silver question and to save his appropriation bill.

When the announcement was made—yeas, 118; nays, 149—the silverites broke out into loud clapping.
